Use your COM-08769 switch on the FTDI Basic board to make the voltage selectable, 5v or 3.3v</p>Ocean Controls on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New StuffOcean Controlsurn:uuid:df125635-0ccb-1630-1d02-6043ef6e16f22009-04-22T16:13:55-06:00<p>I would have though that you would also have the buttons in &lsquo;Sparkfun Red&rsquo;</p>Nate on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New StuffNateurn:uuid:98fca1cf-5b96-86fa-a3c4-1c261136799e2009-04-22T13:33:32-06:00<p>Cool! Good feedback. I&rsquo;ll keep my eyes open.<br/>
The arcade buttons are pretty much mash proof. They don&rsquo;t have a &lsquo;click&rsquo;, just a mechanical limit. The big button uses a microswitch, though you can&rsquo;t really feel it.</p>a1ronzo on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New Stuffa1ronzourn:uuid:ba9ff12e-b280-86c5-0c4b-32dc9acf6be72009-04-22T09:56:23-06:00<p>SkyTraq has warned against using small passive GPS chip antennas due to decreased SNR. So far SkyTraq and SparkFun have not heard of any customers using passive chip antennas successfully with the Venus. However, we are still working on a chip antenna solution, because a small Venus board would just be awesome.</p>tponzi on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New Stufftponziurn:uuid:630089a3-fcb0-f1fc-47fa-779b51b474ef2009-04-22T09:37:31-06:00<p>Any plans for evaluation boards for the Venus GPS with a chip antenna, or does that pose a problem? Thanks!</p>Mitch3 on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New StuffMitch3urn:uuid:1158475b-2a1c-102e-4f77-fef2fb9436cc2009-04-21T22:21:59-06:00<p>Cool! It would be great to see more arcade gear and mechanical things in general on sparkfun.</p>ajcrm125 on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New Stuffajcrm125urn:uuid:396c03a7-7b47-1cf8-39b8-3959b2cd42432009-04-21T06:18:00-06:00<p>The pics show the legs coming out from under the button. That tells me these are microswitch.</p>Ocean Controls on Back to the Grindstone: A Bunch of New StuffOcean Controlsurn:uuid:51d9cd48-6788-58de-ef0f-5a030cdc486d2009-04-20T17:23:02-06:00<p>Please get Concave Buttons too. Also are they microswitch buttons (with a click) or leaf buttons (smooth)?</p>
